At Tongchun, we understand that coffee packaging is more than just about appearance—it’s a key element in preserving coffee’s freshness, flavor, and aroma. As a Shanghai-based leader in high-barrier, eco-friendly, and customizable packaging solutions for the coffee and tea industry, we adhere to the highest quality control standards to ensure that every package meets the needs of our customers and the environment.

Here is a closer look at the quality control standards that define our approach to coffee packaging:

1. High barrier fresh-keeping materials
At the heart of any effective coffee packaging solution is the ability to protect your coffee from external elements such as moisture, light and oxygen, which can affect its flavor and quality. Tonchant uses multi-layer packaging materials that provide superior barrier properties. Our bags keep out oxygen, UV rays and moisture, ensuring your coffee stays fresher for longer.

Materials used: We use advanced aluminum foil layers and metalized films to effectively block oxygen and moisture. Our PLA and cellulose-based biodegradable films not only protect coffee, but also support sustainable development.

2. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials
Sustainability is a key focus for Tonchant. In line with our commitment to reducing the coffee industry’s environmental footprint, we use biodegradable and compostable materials in our coffee packaging. This includes compostable kraft paper, water-based inks, and recyclable mono-materials. Not only are these materials environmentally friendly, they also meet the highest food safety and quality standards.

Certifications: Our materials meet important global standards such as FDA and USDA food contact certification, and comply with the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive and China’s plastic reduction policies.

3. Sealing and filling technology
To ensure the integrity of the packaging, we use ultrasonic sealing technology to make the seal stronger and more reliable. This method avoids the use of chemicals, ensuring a cleaner and safer product. Our automated filling and sealing process integrates a one-way valve to enable CO2 degassing, which is essential to keep the coffee beans fresh.

Automated processes: These technologies allow for precise packaging, ensuring each package is sealed without compromising the quality of the coffee inside.

4. Customized brand influence
At Tonchant, we understand that packaging should not only protect your coffee, but also create a strong brand image. We offer a full range of custom services to give your coffee packaging a unique personality that reflects your brand personality. From custom shapes and sizes to superb digital and flexographic printing, we ensure your packaging stands out on the shelf.

Creative designs: Whether it’s seasonal editions, co-branding collaborations or personalised packaging, we offer minimum runs from as low as 500 pieces, so even small-volume producers can benefit from highly customised packaging.

5. Testing and Inspection Procedures
Before any coffee package leaves the factory, it undergoes rigorous testing and inspection. This includes checking seal integrity, barrier properties, material compliance, and appearance quality. Each batch of coffee is carefully inspected for defects, ensuring that each package meets the highest standards before being delivered to customers.

Quality Assurance: We regularly conduct tests for moisture resistance, barrier strength and print quality to ensure that the final product not only protects the coffee but also showcases your brand in the best possible light.

6. Global Compliance and Certification
As part of our global expansion, Tonchant ensures that all packaging solutions comply with local and international regulations. Our certifications include compliance with EPR and food contact standards, which is essential for us to sell in global markets.
